CRIMSON CLOVER.
Now is the time to secure your seed
lor this valuable crop. If you can
secure homegrown seed I would give
them the preference, but if they cannot
be had, by all means buy enough
of the cleaned seed to start you a
?eed plot for next year's sowing.
Inoculation.

Red, Alsyke or Little White Clover ,

7ears is tlie best inoculation to be obtained.
In securing soil for inocula- .
tion remove the first inch of soil an i i
use the next 4 or 5 inches of soil. At ;
least 1,000 lbs of this dirt should be '
used per acre and card should be
taken to "harrow in immediately before
the sun has time to kill thai
bacteria. Dead bacteria will not in
ocuiate ror anyimng.
If soil is not -convenient and -has to 1
be hauled from a distance, dampen j
the seed with a weak solution of j
glue (about 1 lb glue to lo lbs water) 1
then roll the seed with equal parts
of inoculated dirt and sow, covering
immediately before the sun has time
to kill bacteria.
Fertilizing Value.
Crimson clover turned unaer win
furnish as muck or more nitrogen as
will cowpeas of equal growth, worth
from $10 to $15 per acre for good
growth, not counting the value of the
humus added to the* soil which is
worth probably as much more. [

SENATE PASSES BILL
AGAINST CHILD LABOR
Adopts House Bill Striking Through
Interstate Commerce Clause. Tillman
Assails Owners of Hills.
"Washington, Aug. 8.?The senate
late today passed the bill to prevent
interstate commerce in products of
.child labor by a vote of 52 to 12. The
measure, -which already had passed
the house, was brought to a vote in
the senate on the insistence of President
Wilson after the Democratic
senate caucus once had decided to defer
its consideration until next December.
Opposition to the measure had come
chiefly from Southern cotton mill
owners, and the group .of Southern

fought it in caucus and maintained j
their opposition during the senate de-!
&ate on the ground that the regulation
proposed is unconstitutional and
would interfere with tlie rights of the
States. Eleven Democrats from the
South?Senators Swanson and Martin,
Virginia; Underwood, Alabama;
Var&aman, Mississippi 3 James and J
Beckham, Kentucky; Culberson and j

Senators Broussard, Louisiana; J
Clarke, Arkansas; Gore and Owen,
Okalahoma, and Lea, Tennessee, were;
absent and did not vote.
Senators who voted against the bill |
were: Bankhead, Alabama; Bryan,]
and Fletcher. Florida; Overman and j
Simmons. North Carolina ; Smith and j
Tiilman, South Carolina; Smith and;
Hard wick, Georgia; Williams, Missis- ;
sippi (Democrats), and Oliver and
Penrose, Pennsylvania (Republican?.).'
To Speed Passage.
In order to expedite consideration of
the measure in conference senate conferees
were appointed immedi tely
sifter the final vote. The only amendment
adopted would extend the bill's,
provisions to bar all products of es
tablishmenis employing children from
interstate commerce. The house
measure was directed only against
those on which child labor actually
h&d been employed.
Senator Borah did not offer tho
amendment he had dr.iwn attaching
the immigration bill as a rider in order
to force action on it at this session.
Amendments to make the prohibition
apply only to children under 14
who could not read or write, to make
it apply to children on farms, and to
postpone its effective date for two
years were Toted down.
The bill as pissed would prohibit
interstate commerce in the product of
any mine or quarry, in which children
under 16 years of age have been em
ployed or in the product of any mill.

that we can grow- Crimson Clover seed
with profit as a money crop. The
seed are selling this year in the rough,
at $6 per hundred and yields have
been from 4 to 8 hundred pounds per
acre. Allowing $4.00 per acre for
seeding and gathering which is a very
libenal allowance this leaves a clear
profit on land of from $20 to $44 per
acre from seed crop.
The seed can be gathered about the j
25th of May which gives ample time I
to raise a good crop of corn or cow
peas on same land, and having the
clover stubble to turn under the soil !
will become richer and richer from
year to year without any fertilizer except
phosphoric acid or perhaps
some iiine.
We have corn growing on upland
this year following Crimson Clovei
that will make 35 tc 40 bushels per
acre.
From this same land was gathered
$48.00 worth of clover seed. Does
this beat an tall cotton farm? Why
should we import clover seed from
Europe, paying liigh freight rates
across the lAtlantic and a dealer's
profit when "we can grow clover just,

Tillman's JLind Divided.
During th.e closing hours of debate
today senator Tinman denounced
Southern cotton mill owners opposing j
the bill, and said that while he believed
it unconstitutional he was
tempted to support it because of the
selfishness of the interests fighting it.
He also declared congress was too
much influenced by the attitude of labor
interests.
"I have bee* shocked," said the
South Carolina senator, "to see men
